Nimla Bagh (also known Mimla Bagh) is one of the few surviving Mughal gardens in Afghanistan. It has been variously attributed to the Shah Jahangir, to Shah Jehan and to Babur himself. King Zahir Shah, Afghanistan’s monarch for most of the 20th century, was a regular visitor to the garden. The garden was partially restored by FAO in the 1990s. Since it was an orchard garden, FAO was an appropriate organization to undertake the work. It is possible that this is the site of Babur's Bagh-e Wafa.

These gardens 40km from Jalalabad were laid out in 1610 by the Mughal emperor Jehangir. They follow the quartered Chahar Bagh –style of classical Mughal gardens, with beds of plants and trees given order by the addition of terraces, straight paths and channels of water punctuated by fountains. The design echoes the more celebrated Shalimar Bagh in Srinagar, Kashmir, also laid out at this time by Jehangir for his wife Nur Jahan. At Nimla, Nur Jahan is said to have supervised much of the actual planting. As in Srinagar, cypress and chinar trees play an important role in the garden’s design. Until recently much neglected, the gardens have been rehabilitated by the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), although the water channels remain dry. FAO has been working here and elsewhere on extensive nursery and reforestation programmes to repopulate Afghanistan’s denuded orchards. Nimla is southwest of Jalalabad off the Kabul road
